Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Darryl Dee

Biography / Academic Background

I was born in Manila and grew up, mostly, in Vancouver. I received my BA from UBC in 1995 and my PhD in early modern European history from Emory University in 2004.

Research Interests / Ongoing Projects

I am interested in 17th- and 18th-century French history, particularly the reign of Louis XIV, the famous Sun King. I am currently working on two research projects. The first examines the uses and abuses of money during the period 1680 to 1726. The second project is a multifaceted analysis of 1709, a year of military, political, economic and ecological crises in France.

Student Opportunities / Supervising

I am willing to supervise graduate students in all areas of early modern French history.
